Shareholder Proposals
Bright Horizons Family Solutions Inc. (“the Company”) did not hold an annual meeting of shareholders in 2013. In accordance with Rule 14a-8(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company has set a deadline for the receipt of any shareholder proposals submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act (“Rule 14a-8”) for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials relating to the Annual Meeting. In order for a proposal under Rule 14a-8 to be timely, it must be received by the Company’s Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company by the close of business on March 31, 2014, which the Board of Directors has determined to be a reasonable time before the Company’s proxy statement is due to be printed and mailed. Such proposals must also comply with the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the inclusion of shareholder proposals in proxy materials, and any such proposal may be omitted if not in compliance with applicable requirements.
The address of the Company’s principal executive offices is 200 Talcott Avenue South, Watertown, Massachusetts 02472.
Shareholders wishing to nominate a director or propose matters to be considered at the Annual Meeting in the manner contemplated by the Bylaws must submit timely notice thereof to the Company in order for such matters to be considered at the Annual Meeting. Because the Company did not hold an annual meeting of shareholders in 2013, in accordance with Section 1.2(c) of the Bylaws, to be timely, such notice must be received by the Secretary by the close of business on March 31, 2014. Such proposals must also comply with all other requirements set forth in the Bylaws and other applicable laws.
